    This is a major disappointment. For years I've been told the next upgrade would involve go-go dancers and big pile of blow. This upgrade doesn't even have free beer. Where are we? Russia?

    Not impossible, but it woulod open up a HUGE can-o-worms.

    The VBulletin software that the HAMB is written in allows you to turn off general immaging , and instead allow it to only accept those images from an approved image hosting site, like photobucket for example.

    That way, every image on the HAMB would have to be safely stored on a hosted site, and could be preserved forever.

    Of course, if you did that now, all the images currently on the HAMB would not display, hence the can-o-worms.

    There are also other ways, like for example a caching style backup "ghosting" program that would preserve a snapshot of every post on here... But that's outside my scope, so I cant comment on it.

    Perhapse a friendly compromize is in order... Expanding the individual members photo-gallery, and then putting a direct link to everyones gallery on their viewing page... And then a "HAMB police" campaign to brow-beat everyone to put any images they wish to dispaly into their gallery so they can be preserved.

    But, I'm as guilty as the next guy...... Grabing a qick image off ebay or something to illustrate a point, only to have the image be deleted from ebay a month later. :rolleyes:

    Friday the 13th at that! :D

    I know what he means though, the current enlarge blacks the rest of the screen/post and leaves the pic only...wish it just expanded it inline with the text, but that's probably a lot harder to do...
